Marine Le Pen ruffles feathers over diversity comments

Issued on:

There's a bit of a row going on between Marine Le Pen, presidential candidate for the extreme right Front National, and the CRAN, the Representative Council for Black Associations. During a 45-minute interview organized by iTele, DailyMotion and France Inter, three journalists grilled Le Pen. When it came to cultural and racial diversity, she lashed out against French president Nicolas Sarkozy, whom she accused of sectarianism and exploiting diversity for his own ends. But Patric Lozes, the president of the CRAN, struck back.
